Poll: What kind of exhaust are you running?

[JustPassinThru_imp]

I don't want to turn this into a flame-fest...but I strenuously object to the meme of "loud pipes save lives." Make a note, next time you're out in a car or truck - when some open-pipe Harley is coming at you, you do NOT hear it above the general travel noise until it's on top of you. On the other hand, people trying to sleep; watch TV or listen to their audio system; enjoy a quiet cup of coffee on the patio...they DO hear it, and they don't think the rider is clever for blasting them that way.

The stock exhaust looks good and is quiet - and that's what I like. Remember, my "big ride" before this was a Burgman 650 - also nice and quiet.

The incessant roar of open pipes or modified mufflers does nothing to enhance the ride for me. Smooth and quiet enhances it. Fresh air and beautiful scenery enhances it.

My pipes will stay stock.
